The Atypical Specimens Book Vol. 1 is an “atypical” specimens book showcasing the first set of the Atypical fonts, as presented on June, 2015. It is a specimens book that (paradoxically) doesn't focus on detailed technical information (such as historical references, morphological analysis, type sizes, leading, OT features, etc.); instead, it tries to focus on the inherent style that the Atypical fonts try to convey, and communicate as clear as possible the postmodern character, the motivation and the inexhaustible passion that guided the creation of Atypical from its very beginning.
